Caution

All technical information and scientific data released by US Government agencies (e.g., NASA, EPA…) are subject to sudden variation because of political expediency.
This caution also extends to the fidelity of the information provided by UN organizations (e.g., FAO, WHO…).

WARNING!

Point of No Return:
Unless global energy consumption is reduced immediately to below 60EJ, mechanisms that are destroying ecosystems including ozone holes, global heating, extreme climate events... reach the point of no return, overwhelm the life support systems, render most cities uninhabitable by 2015 or earlier.

To NZ PM Clark: Confirm or Deny!

An Open Letter To NZ PM Helen Clark:

Tell the Truth to the Parents of the Dead and Sick Chinese Babies, they are Humans, Too!

New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark claims her government learned of the contamination problem on September 5. She slept over it for three days and then decided to inform Beijing after local Chinese officials refused to act.

“I think the first inclination was to try and put a towel over it and deal with it without an official recall,” she said.

What a load of old codswallop!
